Less than two weeks into the new semester, Gou Shengli asked for leave.

When the counselor heard the news of his engagement, she also offered her blessings.

Their school is quite open-minded about this kind of thing; as long as it doesn't affect their studies or graduation, there's no major problem.

So now, there are only two people left in 307.

"I am bored."

"Yeah, it's so boring."

Lin Xun and Liu Gang leaned back in their computer chairs, looking up at the ceiling.

Without Gou Shengli, their dormitory became much more dull.

"How do you think Brother Gou proposed to her?" Lin Xun suddenly asked curiously.

Liu Gang said calmly, "I don't understand, but it must be quite ridiculous that this guy is keeping it from us, right?"

Only in this way will the other party not share with them.

It's like if you're a grown man and suddenly do something very effeminate, how could you possibly let the people around you know?

One should leave behind a pure reputation in the world.

Liu Gang had no classes in the afternoon, so he took a nap, while Lin Xun played games all afternoon.

When Liu Gang got up, Lin Xun suggested going for a run.

With Gou Shengli absent, they could only alternate between attending classes and exercising.

At six o'clock in the evening, the two of them were panting heavily on the playground, covered in sweat.

They tried running five kilometers, but both of them felt too tired.

Firstly, I haven't exercised in a long time, and secondly, the weather is too cold, making it very uncomfortable to inhale.

"By the way, when are you getting engaged to your boyfriend?" Lin Xun suddenly asked.

Liu Gang laughed and said, "We don't have the custom of engagement where I'm from. Before that, we would take wedding photos, then the two families would have a meal, decide on the wedding date, and give the betrothal gifts. That's probably what engagement is."

Lin Xun nodded. He knew that this was the case in some areas; when he was in Liangcheng, many people were like that.

Liu Gang looked into the distance and said, "Although we've reached the legal age, I'm still studying, so getting married might not be so soon. Of course, that's just my opinion. My family is still urging me to get married, and when I met her family last time, they asked about it, and that's what I answered."

Lin Xun nodded understandingly: "So what does your partner think?"

Liu Gang said, "She's in the same boat as me. She's found a job now, but the salary isn't very high. Thanks to you, I now have a stable income. We've decided to save money and get married after we buy a house."

The income from the billiards hall isn't low now, and his family might be able to buy a house before graduation, so Liu Gang has made plans.

Unlike Lin Xun and Gou Shengli, he came from an ordinary family with modest finances, which is why he chose to enlist in the army back then.

Therefore, he must take things one step at a time to build his future.

Not everyone is the protagonist, but everyone can be the protagonist of their own life.

Lin Xun patted him on the shoulder: "Be sure to invite us when you get married."

Liu Gang grinned: "Of course, but you probably got here before me."

Lin Xun suddenly grinned as if he had just thought of something.

"Go eat."

"Walk."

…

Time flies, and it's already the end of March.

The weather is gradually warming up, and the sunlight shines through the thin clouds onto the earth, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

As the seasons change, nature gradually awakens from the cold winter, revealing its vibrant side.

It's that time of year again when all things mate.

In room 307, Liu Gang was tidying his clothes in front of the mirror. He even reached out and sprayed some men's cologne from Gou Shengli's desk onto himself.

"Dude, what are you doing?"

Lin Xun looked at him in surprise.

Liu Gang smiled slightly and said, "Brother, it's my turn to go on a date this time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun was taken aback and asked, "Your boyfriend is here?"

Liu Gang nodded: "That's right, she's arrived at her stop. I'm going to pick her up. She probably won't be back tonight."

Lin Xun: ...

Before, we always saw Lin Xun go to find Senior Sister Su, and Gou Shengli go out to get food. Now it's finally his turn.

After Liu Gang left, Lin Xun was the only one left in the dormitory.

"I am bored."

Lin Xun looked at the empty dormitory and sighed.

Without roommates or senior female students, he suddenly felt lost and unsure of what to do.

Shaking his head, Lin Xun opened his phone and sent a message to his senior.

The other party didn't reply, they're most likely working.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun got up, put on his coat, and went out.

On the school path, two clubs were holding activities, and the students involved were maintaining order.

Lin Xun glanced curiously at the tent not far away, where a banner was hung, advertising photography-related activities.

"Hey kid, wanna take a picture?"

A girl's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Xun, and she took the initiative to walk over.

Such a handsome guy, it would be a shame not to strike up a conversation.

Lin Xun shook his head slightly. "No, thank you."

He looked around, intending to find a quiet place to sit for a while.

"Hey, if you're not taking pictures, can I add you on WeChat?"

The girl asked, unwilling to give up.

Lin Xun calmly replied, "I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend."

At that moment, he saw a familiar figure—Chen Yingying.

She was wearing a white dress, standing under a tree, talking to a boy.

Lin Xun was somewhat surprised, and he walked over curiously.

Seeing this, the girl muttered indignantly, "What's wrong with having a girlfriend?"

Who says you can't add members of the opposite sex on WeChat if you have a girlfriend? Hmph, I gave you the chance, but you didn't take it.

Chen Yingying also saw Lin Xun walking over, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

What are you doing here?

Lin Xun said calmly, "I came out to clear my head."

His gaze fell on the boy, and he raised an eyebrow: "Who's this?"

The boy had a confident smile on his lips: "My name is Yuan Hua, and you are?"

Chen Yingying grabbed Lin Xun's arm and said to the boy, "Excuse me, junior, he is my... boyfriend. We have something to do, so we have to go."

Lin Xun frowned, trying to break free, but Chen Yingying held on tightly and gave him a wink.

Lin Xun then stopped struggling without making a sound, but he was very unhappy inside.

What is this woman joking about? What if her nonsense gets back to her senior?

Upon seeing this, Yuan Hua was taken aback: "Don't you not have a boyfriend?"

Chen Yingying said calmly, "We have it now."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Yuan Hua's face: "Senior Chen, stop it, I really like you."

Chen Yingying said coldly, "But I don't like you, so please stop bothering me, thank you."

The other party, taking advantage of being a rich second-generation, shamelessly pursued her, causing her a lot of headaches.

Yuan Hua looked at Lin Xun: "Do you like her?"

He knew perfectly well that the two were not a couple at all, but he wasn't sure if the boy liked Chen.

Lin Xun then brushed Chen Yingying's hand away and said calmly, "Don't misunderstand, we're just friends."

Chen Yingying: ...

So, are you not giving me any face?
